Destination Capitol Hill
Travel Oregon, along with industry partners from the Oregon Caves National Monument, the Port of Portland, and Travel Portland, met with Oregon’s federal policy makers during U.S. Travel Association's annual Destination Capitol Hill<https://t.e2ma.net/click/1oz3o/5f3f3c/xd0dfg>. The delegation met with all seven members of the state’s federal legislative branch and discussed key issues for national travel including: increasing the Passenger Facility Charge, supporting the Visa Waiver Program and ensuring that travel and tourism officials have a place at the table when crises occur that may affect the tourism industry.
